HAHA, Nice.

Cool. thanks for this. I haven't been there in a while so good to know.

I think that's the thing with forums. A lot is to be taken with a pinch of salt. Sometimes need to read between the lines or try get a feel for what someone is expressing. And for this thread with a piece of kit not even released (except the few now in Vietnam) everyone has been gagging...

Can also try Lear....I think have shop in Mong Kok. They do customs and can reshell also.

Jaben HK can help.

ok cool. Thanks.

has a separate thread been opened for it? I have tried searching but nothing found.........guessing it hasn't but my searches aren't always great!!

maybe they sold more 1000 units than predicted or have a new smaller design foot print that they prefer to move forward with so not interested in keeping the larger 1000 out there or having to have the machinery to produce more. This could line up a whole new range of models with smaller...

I dropped mine and had them effectively re-shelled as repaired. but that was as I was owner. ad for as I know fitear wont re-shell to new mold for someone new.

yours and broken or purchase someone else and want a new fit? First need to send back to FitEar Japan. Second I don't think possible.

drop Derek an email. He may have an idea of how progressing. I think mine took around 8 weeks.

but he was asking about specific cables from Toxic Cables?

I just don't get the price argument every time a new product is released. I know it isn't out and there isn't much else to discuss but people seem to believe they have a right to own every product they want and if the cost is too much it is the manufacturers greed! It is like they were...

hahahaha they are funny with their advertisements.

New launch always makes me think of the scene in anchor man when everyone talking loud and steve carell just starts randomly shouting "I don't know what we're yelling about!" Chill people. Once it is released, if you like it....buy it. If you don't like it.....move on!

I thought only the 2.5 connection was balanced. 3.5 is non-balanced but can use balanced cable if connector adapts to non-balanced for 3.5 plug.

haha....my thoughts but I may say I haven't actually even tried case-on - case-off with 380!

Mr Armstrong has been saying that for a while. Did you hear a difference taking case off?

I wonder how do IEMS (and possibly cable type) play into the choice?

haha...2 minor shots, no reviews and people already dismiss it! such a fickle hobbie.

Thanks - I will do some more research,

several people reported using them ok in their AKs

Thanks vo_obgyn

I went portable when moved to HK and had young kids. Now they are older and I have more room I am thinking about getting a desktop. I love my HD650 which had it since first released and thinking the HD800S and HDV820 amp. I would like to use my AK380 as source for this....thinking balanced...

very nice.
